- totally unsubtle pointing, staring & laughing at jos feet by EVERYONE (she admittedly is wearing five fingers shoes but still..)
- beautiful green spaces & fountains at every turn
- massive fish market with the most incredible assortment, but again no ice, no chilled areas, no covers just out there sweating in 90 degree heat
- the kindness & gentle nature of the locals
- excellent bus stop signs?! A plastic bag sellotaped to a tree, the only giveaway for a newcomer is a group of people randomly stood in a line on the street
- be wary not to take a wrong turn outside the fish market as you will shortly end up in a whore market.. Not that Jo noticed, rather she thought groups of ladies were just gathered chatting on the street.. Bless.
- traffic queue entrepreneurs.. Juggling in the middle of the road..
Santiago in a nutshell - definitely worth a visit & we would definitely come back..
Currently sat at the airport having got up at 5am for an 8am flight to Easter island aka Rapa Nui aka isla de pascua (very confusing when you're asking for directions to check in!) - flight has been delayed for 4hours, very boring!
I have seen people get cross at the airport but nothing quite like this morning where security had to be called as a guy in a yellow jacket was leaning right over the counter swinging at the check-in clerk whilst his wife jumped onto the luggage belt and tried to get around.. All because our flight is delayed?!?
Our bag is that grey one right in the middle - all stacked on one airport trolley I suppose it's the quickest way to transport the baggage to the plane without a truck..
Location:Santiago, Chile
